Onlookers jeer scamster Sudipta Sen in court

April 25, 2013 12:18

Saradha chit fund group boss Sudipta Sena and the three others who were produced before a court in Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata, were jeered by onlookers.

On April 23, a woman committed suicide after losing her savings in the chit fund scam in West Bengal, and another woman has attempted to end her life.

Over the last few days, several of Saradha's offices across the state have shut down and many of its cheques have bounced. With a huge default in repayments, the group is on the verge of collapse.
